He thinks he can inflcit enough casualies on our soldiers that we will run away.

I think Saddam thinks that too.

Using Gulf War I as a model ... Saddam made a public statement in 1990 that the coalition would not fight if heavy casualties were taken. It is quite apparent that he thought his military was capable of inflicting them. I would guess ... that he thinks he will inflict heavy casualties on US/British/other? troops in his cities and that they will pull out as a result.
